Toby Keith partied like it was 2019 last Sunday in Tucson at his sold-out concert at Casino del Sol. Patriotic songs in the Veterans Day prelude concert included "Made in America" and "American Ride," in addition to other hits from his 30-year career.
About 30 minutes after the concert began, Keith made a red plastic cup toast, the Arizona Daily Star reported. "We're going to toast the Marines on their 244th birthday," he said before tipping the cup and taking a drink. After the audience's extended cheer, Keith gave numerous toasts to veterans, current military members, police, first responders and firefighters, then finally sipped from the cup.
Keith praised those in uniform during the entire two-hour concert, which ended after he sang his "American Soldier" tribute song, complete with several veterans with him onstage.
